Abstract

Approximate computing is an architectural paradigm where limited and controlled errors during computation are tolerated. Thanks to approximation, circuits can be faster, more compact, and consume less power. Security aspects of these circuits are however largely unexplored. In this paper we focus on the problem of side channel attacks, and we discuss how they can be different when carried out in approximated circuits. We conclude our work highlighting challenges and possible research directions in this area.
